"The House Is Burning" lyrics

"The House Is Burning"

What luck when you set me up
You buried the axe right back into the old wound
And the morning sun will melt your wings
Bow down whatever you want
Is that what you mean when you claim that we were equal
Another disciple indebted in chains

My lungs fill with fire burning

Everybody out everyone everybody out
Everybody out of the house it's burning
What did you expect tell me what tell me what you thought
All the lessons taught but you never learned
Don't say a word
You're done talking now it's time you've heard
Everybody out everyone everybody out
You tell your lies while the house it burns

You're so self righteous in your empathy
A moral opportunist of the highest degree
Why would you lift a finger if the camera won't see
There's an empty space where your heart should be saying
Bow down well not anymore
With this invitation we're showing you the door

My lungs fill with fire burning
How long must we burn
Let me hear you say

Everybody out everyone everybody out
Everybody out of the house it's burning
What did you expect tell me what tell me what you thought
All the lessons taught but you never learned
Don't say a word
You're done talking now it's time you've heard
Everybody out everyone everybody out
You tell your lies while the house it burns

I believed you filled my hands with only ashes
Now ask me how it feels to become the match head

Everybody out everyone everybody out
Everybody out of the house it's burning
What did you expect tell me what tell me what you thought
All the lessons taught but you never learned
Don't say a word
You're done talking now it's time you've heard
Everybody out everyone everybody out
You tell your lies while the house it burns
